Yeah, it is going to get exciting. Alice that might be the biggest understatement you have ever made.

Dana walked over by Alice and put her hand on Alices head and moved it down slightly, as she opened the freezer. She pulled a bottle of Kettle from the freezer and handed it to Alice, No Pinot, Ill take this, with seltzer. Do you mind making it while I finish the dishes?

Alice looked over at Dana, who was now back at the sink. Are you sure Dane? You dont mix alcohol well?

Dana nodded at Alice, Yeah, I think with all of the festivities, I might just need it.

Okee dokey. First Tina, now you. Damn we are going to have some slurring tonight.

Dana just shrugged. Alice made the drink for Dana and placed it on the counter by Dana.

Im going to head back into the living room. Thanks for cleaning up, Dane.

No problem. You know our deal. I wasnt going to break it. Besides, I know how much you hate doing dishes. She replied flashing a huge smile at Alice.

Alice smiled back and walked to the living room.

Did you get lost in there or something? Shane asked, looking over at Alice with a grin on her face.

What are you smiling at? I was getting you a beer and made Dana a drink.

Well, I was getting quite parched.

Alice rolled her eyes at Shane, You do have two legs, you could have walked in and gotten it yourself,

Tina answered for Shane, Yeah well Al, there is a lot of tension going on with you and Dana tonight, I dont think Shane wanted to walk in on that.

There is nothing to walk in on. Lets just drop it ok?

OK, but dont tell me you didnt notice the looks you were getting over dinner? Shane replied.

Alice looked down, It doesnt matter if I get looks, that isnt going to change anything. Besides, those looks were just about the food. Alice continued looking down at a patch of carpet that seemed to have her attention, I already asked Dana and shes cool with it, so Im going to ask you guys now. I dont want to think about it tonight. I just want to enjoy you and Cara being here and having all of us together. OK? I try not to let it get to me, but it hurts like ***** and I really dont want to think about it.
